    How to Compare two lists to create a list of items to another list?

    Basically I am comparing two similar records. They are numbers but what I need to do is to create a list of records that are not found in the next record. I tired using conditioning but I just have so many that I can't really use that method. All I want to do is to generate a list of what records are not found in the next record. (Which number was not found in the next list in a separate list from the two).online.xlsx

    I am not comparing cell to cell, they are from list to list.

    I uploaded an attachment. First 50 out of 750,000 lol

    Re: How to Compare two lists to create a list of items to another list?

    I have just one have a couple of questions. Since Column B is checking to see if any of its values are found in Column C and if not, then it generates a third list in column D of values not found in C, obviously the list will be a lot shorter so I am guessing the end of the list is when all the values in Column D have "#N/A" value. Is this correct?
